Execs Explain Demise of Survivors Remorse


Last October Starz canceled Survivors Remorse, a drama produced by LeBron James and loosely based on his life [click here if you missed that].

Starz execs explains why the show was axed...

During a Television Critics Association panel Starz CEO and president Chris Albrecht explained,
“We love Survivor’s Remorse, we’re very proud of the show. I think there was some closure. It’s difficult in premium to manage the kind of glidepaths or choices that you used to be able to. It’s pretty competitive out there, and I think the show spoke to a lot of really important issues and I’m not sure there was a lot more to say. We gave the show a real shot to kind of break out in the way you want a show to break out after the fourth season. Having said that, I think everybody left feeling they had accomplished good work.”
